  • Patent number: 5255652
    Abstract: A speed governor for fuel injection pumps of internal combustion engines that has a centrifugal adjuster that acts counter to the force of governor springs to generate a speed-dependent adjustment travel of a governor sleeve and that acts on a fuel quantity adjusting device of a fuel injection pump via the governor sleeve and a governor lever disposed thereupon In this process a charge-pressure-dependently adjustable stop for a full-load fuel supply quantity, which is disposed on a stop lever is pivoted as a function of temperature and speed into the adjustment path of a counter stop disposed on the fuel quantity adjusting device, in such a way that, after a certain speed and a certain operating temperature of the engine has been reached, the stop comes into contact with this counter stop of the fuel quantity adjusting device.

  • Patent number: 5255963
    Abstract: A known hydraulic vehicle brake system has an anti-skid valve assembly. By this assembly, the at least one wheel brake can be temporarily disconnected from the master brake cylinder and connected to one inlet of a return pump, which furnishes the quantities of pressure fluid flowing out of the wheel brakes both to a damper chamber and, via a damper throttle, to the master brake cylinder and/or the at least one wheel brake. The disadvantage is that all of the pressure fluid pumped by the return pump can sometimes reach the master brake cylinder, disagreeably moving the brake pedal in the direction of its outset position. This can annoy a driver and should be avoided. The improved vehicle brake system has a valve, which in anti-skid operation can be blocked, located between the damper throttle and the master brake cylinder and also has a bypass throttle bypassing the valve. As a result, during anti-skid operation, the brake pedal is not displaced to such an annoying extent.

  • Patent number: 5254807
    Abstract: An RPM sensor for anti-lock and/or traction control systems of motor vehicles or for engine speed governing or gasoline or Diesel injection control. The RPM sensor has a housing, receiving electrical components, with a first housing part of plastic that is at least partly enveloped by a second housing part, produced in an injection molding process, likewise from plastic. To attain a moisture-proof, material bond between the two housing parts, a melting element of a plastic having a lower melting point than that of the plastic of the housing parts is disposed in a contact zone between the two housing parts. When the second housing part is formed, the melting element is heated above its melting point, and a material bond of the two housing parts is attained which protects the RPM sensor against moisture dirt, stress, etc.

  • Patent number: 5244154
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve including a perforated silicon plate disposed downstream of a valve seat and having an atomization opening that widens in the flow direction. The perforated silicon plate has at least one elongated recess on an upper end face oriented toward the valve seat face; this recess at least partly overlaps a metering opening extending as far as a lower face end of the perforated plate. The perforated plate makes it possible to form flat streams, so that very fine atomization of the injected fuel is attained. Forming the elongated recesses and atomization openings by etching makes high-precision manufacture possible at low production cost. The perforated plate and fuel injection valve are especially suitable for injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

  • Patent number: 5239968
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically controlled injection system for internal combustion engines, in which a magnet valve that is open when without current is used to control the fuel quantity of a high-pressure chamber in the injection pump. A pressure chamber communicates via a pressure conduit directly with the pump work chamber of the high-pressure pump, and a connection from the pressure chamber to a diversion chamber is controlled by a movable valve member via a valve seat. A diversion bore, and a pressure equalization piston is disposed on the valve member, via a neck, on a side remote from the magnet, so that approximately the same pressure as on the magnet side of the movable valve member prevails on the face end of this pressure equalization piston. The chambers on both face ends of the valve member communicate with one another through a connecting conduit, and a further connecting conduit leads from the magnet chamber to a leakage chamber.
